The Deep

by Nick Gisburne



Shatter the shadows, the darkest of dreams
Bathe in the blood of the waters within
Run to the river of sorrow and screams
Sever the spirit, abandon your skin
Feel it, the torment, the weight of the soul
Twisted malevolence, dragging you down
Primitive, poisonous, blacker than coal
Festering evil, drawn under to drown
Dive to your destiny, dive to the deep
Stripped of your senses, eternally blind
Infinite emptiness, death without sleep
Shackled forever, alone with your mind
    Silence, the sentence to pay for your crime
    Time without end, till the end of all time
